General Theory - Summary And Review
Futures contracts have existed in some form for a very long time, but weren't standardized and exchange-traded until the mid-19th century. Futures were historically based on agricultural products, but financial futures were developed starting in 1971. Futures are conceptually similar to forward contracts, but differ in some key respects. The futures market has a unique structure in which hedgers and speculators participate, and a vocabulary not unlike that of the market for options, another type of derivative.
Review 1. Which is not an antecedent of the contemporary futures contract?
- Japanese rice and silk contracts
- Forward contracts
- Exchange-traded options
- To-arrives
2. In which way does a future contract differ from a forward contract?
- It can be customized in terms of quantity of goods and delivery dates.
- It trades directly between buyer and seller.
- It is guaranteed by an exchange.
- It trades in a government-regulated market.
3. It is July. September futures for soybean oil settled today at 26'45 ($0.2645/pound) and December soybean oil futures settled at 26'57. The 90-day BA rate is an annualized 4.00%. True or false: The market for soybean oil is above full carry.
4. A trader expects the price of heating oil to decrease faster than the market predicts so she, on her own account, sells a futures contract "borrowed" from her firm. This market participant is acting as:
- a hedger taking a long position
- a hedger taking a short position
- a speculator taking a long position
- a speculator taking a short position
5. If an option's price would change $0.30 if its underlying commodity moved $1.00 then 0.3 is the:
- retender
- delta
- conversion
- time value
6. Hedging is the inverse of speculation
- False
- True
7. An associated person hedging an asset or futures position with a similar, but not identical contract has entered into a cross hedge
- True
- False
8. A manufacturer of 200,000 pounds of Unobtanium is desirous of hedging her inventory. Each contract is 50,000 pounds.
- Purchase four futures contracts.
- Sell eight futures contracts.
- Sell four futures contracts.
- Purchase eight futures contracts.
9. An artisanal baker wants to hedge the risk in increased costs of flour. He should:
- Be long wheat futures.
- Be short flour futures
- Be long flour futures.
- Be short wheat futures.
10. To hedge falling prices, a holder of inventory should purchase futures contract equal to the quantity of inventory.
- False
- True
11. Commodity Pool Operators (CPOs) advise on the purchase of commodities or a commodities-based investment strategy.
- True
- False

"Na/H exchange in the blood–brain barrier is prominently sensitive to amiloride and MIA (Murphy and Johanson, 1990; Sipos et al., 2005; Pedersen et al., 2006) and a high binding capacity of MIA has been demonstrated in cerebral microvessels (Kalaria et al., 1998). The endothelial isoforms of Na/H exchangers are located on the luminal side of endothelial cells (Crone, 1986; Goldstein et al., 1986; Redzic, 2011; Benarroch, 2012), and therefore , they are easily accessible to systemically applied Na/H exchange inhibitors, regardless of the drug permeability across the blood–brain barrier. Amiloride is poorly permeable in the blood– brain barrier (Sipos and Brem, 2000; Fisher, 2002; Liu et al., 2010), and notably, our present study shows that amiloride is as effective as MIA in abolishing post-asphyxia seizures.

Birth asphyxia is often associated with a high seizure burden that is predictive of poor neurodevelopmental outcome. The mechanisms underlying birth asphyxia seizures are unknown. Using an animal model of birth asphyxia based on 6-day-old rat pups, we have recently shown that the seizure burden is linked to an increase in brain extracellular pH that consists of the recovery from the asphyxia-induced acidosis, and of a subsequent plateau level well above normal extracellular pH. In the present study, two-photon imaging of intracellular pH in neocortical neurons in vivo showed that pH changes also underwent a biphasic acid-alkaline response, resulting in an alkaline plateau level. The mean alkaline overshoot was strongly suppressed by a graded restoration of normocapnia after asphyxia. The parallel post-asphyxia increase in extra- and intracellular pH levels indicated a net loss of acid equivalents from brain tissue that was not attributable to a disruption of the blood-brain barrier, as demonstrated by a lack of increased sodium fluorescein extravasation into the brain, and by the electrophysiological characteristics of the blood-brain barrier. Indeed, electrode recordings of pH in the brain and trunk demonstrated a net efflux of acid equivalents from the brain across the blood-brain barrier, which was abolished by the Na/H exchange inhibitor, N-methyl-isobutyl amiloride. Pharmacological inhibition of Na/H exchange also suppressed the seizure activity associated with the brain-specific alkalosis. Our findings show that the post-asphyxia seizures are attributable to an enhanced Na/H exchange-dependent net extrusion of acid equivalents across the blood-brain barrier and to consequent brain alkalosis. These results suggest targeting of blood-brain barrier-mediated pH regulation as a novel approach in the prevention and therapy of neonatal seizures.

Objective: To evaluate the significance of circulating tight-junction (TJ) proteins as predictors of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in ischemic stroke patients. Methods: We examined 458 consecutive ischemic stroke patients, 7.2% of whom had clinically evident HT. None of the patients was treated with thrombolytic drugs. Serum levels of standard markers of blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown (S100B, neuron-specific enolase), TJ proteins (occludin [OCLN], claudin 5 [CLDN5], zonula occludens 1 [ZO1]), and molecules involved in BBB disintegration (matrix metalloproteinase 9 and vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF]) were assessed upon admission to the emergency department. A clinical deterioration caused by HT (cdHT) was defined as an increase of ≥4 points in the NIH Stroke Scale score in combination with a visible HT on a CT scan performed immediately after the onset of new neurologic symptoms. Results: Patients with cdHT had higher concentrations of OCLN, S100B, and the CLDN5/ZO1 ratio, and a lower level of VEGF than those without cdHT. CLDN5 levels also correlated with cdHT occurrence when estimated within 3 hours of stroke onset. We also demonstrated correlations between the levels of circulating TJ molecules and the level of S100B, which is a previously established marker of BBB disruption. Conclusions: Analyzing serum levels of TJ proteins, like CLDN5, OCLN, and CLDN5/ZO1 ratio, as well as S100B and VEGF, is an effective way to screen for clinical deterioration caused by HT in ischemic stroke patients, both within and after the IV thrombolysis time window.

Current and future directions for Phase II trials in high-grade glioma

Despite surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, the prognosis for high-grade glioma (HGG) is poor. Our understanding of the molecular pathways involved in gliomagenesis and progression has increased in recent years, leading to the development of novel agents that specifically target these pathways. Results from most single-agent trials have been modest at best, however. Despite the initial success of antiangiogenesis agents in HGG, the clinical benefit is short-lived and most patients eventually progress. Several novel agents, multi-targeted agents and combination therapies are now in clinical trials for HGG and several more strategies are being pursued.

Kingston HyperX Predator 1TB USB flash drive pictures and hands-on
Kingston Technology's big news for CES 2013 has been a massive beast in a tiny casing. The product is a USB drive - nothing generally exciting about that - but there will be a 1TB version soon. In a USB drive. One entire Terrabyte. Blimey.
The DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3.0 USB drive is probably chunkier than most, and is already available in 512GB flavour, but the fact that you can carry around such massive storage makes cloud services look puny.
There's little else to say about it really, save that it slides in and out of its sturdy casing, in order to protect the connection. Oh, and that it will cost $3,400 in the US. Yep, over three grand.
Let's just say that in its current state, Kingston's device is more aimed at the business user than consumer. Neat, mind. One can only dream.

RHP Randall Delgado could soon be replaced in ATL rotation
Prior to the start of the season, we posted a piece here at BravesWire titled "Not one, but TWO Braves rotations" highlighting the apparent depth of the Braves pitching staff. It appeared at the time that the Braves had enough Big League or Big League-ready arms to fill TWO Major League starting rotations.
How things have changed. Jair Jurrjens spent much of the season at Triple-A, Gwinnett trying to iron out his problems, and while he is now back in Atlanta, he remains on the bubble.
Meanwhile, Brandon Beachy and RH prospect Arodys Vizcaino (who was slated for the bullpen but could have started) are both recovering from season-ending ligament replacement "Tommy John" surgery.
Kris Medlen was sent to Gwinnett to stretch his arm out and nearly joined the Atlanta rotation, but his services remain critical to a Braves bullpen that has not been nearly as dominant as expected.
RH prospect JJ Hoover was traded to the Reds for 3B Juan Fransisco.
Top-rated phenom Julio Teheran hasn't looked as Big League-ready as most thought he would at the half-way point of the '12 season.
Mike Minor and Randall Delgado remain in the Braves rotation, but while both have looked great at times, they've also had their share of horrendous starts. Their youthful unreliability is forgivable, given their age and inexperience, but the Braves need more consistency in their rotation if they hope to make a postseason run.
This team has fallen victim to a remarkable degree of misfortune in the pitching department this year. And with that in mind, I must say something I never could have envisioned myself saying just 4 months ago…
The Braves need pitching.
This is a realization the Braves front office came to weeks—perhaps even months—ago, and the process of trying to strengthen this beleaguered Atlanta pitching staff is well underway.
The Braves made their first move to that end a week ago, when they signed former All-Star right-hander Ben Sheets. While, officially, the agreement with Sheets was of the minor league variety, the Braves fully expect Sheets to join the Big League rotation soon.
Sheets will turn 34 years old later this month. He has pitched 9 seasons in the big leagues, including 5 straight years (2004-2008) with a sub-4.00 ERA for the Milwaukee Brewers. He is a 4-time All-Star (2001, '04, '07 and '08). After undergoing season-ending "Tommy John" surgery in 2010, he sat out the entire 2011 season and the first half of the '12 season. He's healthy now, and by all reports, his velocity and overall "stuff" looks pretty good.
Sheets made his first uniformed start in nearly two years Wednesday for the Braves Double-A affiliate, Mississippi. He threw 74 pitches over 5 innings. He allowed 4 runs on 5 hits and struck out 6 batters. He looked rusty through the first 2 frames, understandably, but rebounded with 3 scoreless innings. Atlanta Braves Manager, Fredi Gonzalez, was encouraged by Sheet's outing, noting "He touched 93 mph, good breaking ball; threw well. He's going on to his next start."
Ben Sheets is expected to join that Atlanta starting rotation, replacing either Mike Minor or—more likely—Randall Delgado, sometime after the All-Star Break.
But the Braves aren't stopping there. They're still very much interested in trading for a proven quality starting pitcher. Top candidates include Milwaukee's Zach Greinke, Minnesota's Fransisco Liriano, and Ryan Dempster & Matt Garza of the Chicago Cubs.
The top starting pitching prize on the trade market is, without a doubt, Zach Greinke, and the Braves are believe to be serious suitors for his services. Let's suppose, for the sake of conversation, the Braves were to land Greinke. All of a sudden, you've gone from a rotation of: Hudson, Hanson, Jurrjens, Minor, Delgado … to a rotation of: Greinke, Hudson, Hanson, Sheets, Jurrjens. Quite a difference, huh?
With Sheets apparently on his way up soon and the Braves hip-deep in the starting pitching trade market, there is a better than average chance that this Braves rotation will look quite different by month's end.

Ragin' Cajuns Lose Coach To Saints
When your football team has success, other teams come sniffing around, looking to steal your assistant coaches. Mark Hudspeth's Ragin' Cajun squad had a successful 2014 campaign, winning the R & L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. They held Nevada to just 3 points. The Cajuns Defense was the best in the Sunbelt conference. That clearly caught the attention of the pro team that plays its home games at the Superdome.

My holiday mood = Mrs. Clausy.
That's according to the "What's Your Holiday Mood?" quiz, and I think it's pretty accurate. I don't usually do much holiday decorating, but this year, I got a sparkly blue Christmas tree, and decorated it with handmade ornaments. It's tacky and adorable, and I think Mrs. Claus would be proud.
How are the holidays treating you so far? Are you feeling extra-generous and loving -- or not so much?

Home Depot Expects To Exceed Estimates
Published: August 13, 1999
ATLANTA, Aug. 12— Home Depot Inc., the largest retailer of home improvement products, said today that its second-quarter profit would exceed analyst forecasts as the resale of existing houses lifted revenue more than expected.
The company expects to report 44 cents a share for the quarter that ended on Aug. 1 when it releases earnings figures on Tuesday, more than the 39-cents average estimate of analysts polled by First Call. Home Depot earned 31 cents a share in the similar period last year.
Sales at stores open at least a year surged 11 percent, the largest quarterly increase in two and a half years. Sales over all rose 28 percent in the quarter, to $10.4 billion.

Police: Teen's death not gang or racially motivated
Clarification: Siler's race has been changed from biracial to black because police records list him as black.
A school security camera may have captured portions of the shooting that killed a Central High School sophomore, authorities said today.
"There is some limited video of the activities that took place at the school," Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk said.
He wouldn't say what the video shows, but said it is expected to have "a minimal impact" on the investigation.
Ryan McDonald, 15, died Thursday from a gunshot to the chest as students gathered in the school cafeteria before class began. Police say Jamar B. Siler, a 15-year-old freshman, pulled the trigger and walked away. He faces a charge of first-degree murder.
DeBusk said police know what led to the shooting but won't give details.
"We feel confident we know what the motive for the shooting was," he said. "The information was provided by the suspect during a conversation with an officer. I can say it had nothing to do with nor do we believe there was anything involved that was related to gangs or racial motivations."
McDonald was white, and Siler is black. The boys rode the same bus, and McDonald's family believes the trouble started with an argument over missing money. Police won't discuss that claim.
"There had been prior contact," DeBusk said. "That's all we can say."
He said investigators don't know yet how long the boys' dispute might have been brewing.
"We're trying to determine their history," he said. "We know there had been some recent contact between the two. We're trying to determine whether that recent contact was involved."
Officers arrived at the school on Jacksboro Pike in Fountain City within two minutes of the shooting, reported at 8:11 a.m., and arrested Siler four minutes later as he walked along Doughty Drive three blocks away.
Police said they found the gun on him - a small-caliber, semi-automatic pistol with at least four rounds still in the magazine. They won't say anything else about the gun or where it came from.
"We're working on where he got the gun," DeBusk said.
Siler had two previous arrests on minor charges but no history of violent offenses, authorities said. He remains at the Richard L. Bean Juvenile Service Center without bond.
Classes at the school resumed today with a heavy police presence and grief counselors on hand. Any students who didn't attend will receive an excused absence, Superintendent Jim McIntyre said.
More details as they develop online and in Saturday's News Sentinel.

The ECB continues to work with Sport England on the pioneering club accreditation scheme 'Clubmark' to develop a vibrant and healthy club cricket infrastructure.
Cricket clubs can play a key role in the successful delivery of Building Partnerships – cricket's strategic plan for 2006-2009 - by supporting the delivery and implementation of the following programmes:
The ECB Clubmark and community cricket clubs play a central role in all of these programmes and Clubmark will provide the standards that clubs involved in these programmes will aspire to.
In addition, it is expected that clubs who achieve the ECB Clubmark will be recognised and rewarded for their hard work and commitment to club cricket in England and Wales.
By registering to work towards ECB Clubmark, clubs join a growing number of cricket clubs across England and Wales that are prioritising junior development, creating a benchmark for high quality community club cricket.
County Cricket Development Managers can help clubs through the process of achieving ECB Clubmark Accreditation.
ECB Clubmark gives clubs an opportunity to write and implement new procedures as well as acknowledge existing practices. Cricket clubs are required to present evidence and demonstrate implementation across four different themes, culminating in the production of a Club Development Plan.
The four themes are:
